Abstract:
"This book shows how culturally shared knowledge is used to structure social transactions, and it lays the groundwork for a new science of cultural processes.ûCarol Dweck, Stanford University
Abstract:
"Treating culture as process the book describes most recent research findings, theorize about cultural representations and functions, and apply this framework to pressing contemporary research questions, such as cultural differences in self-enhancement, subjective well-being, work teams, and conflict resolution, as well as intercultural processes of negation and communication. This volume is simultaneously a cogent argument for a dynamic perspective on culture, a searching analysis of cultural dynamics.'ûYoshi Kashima, The University of Melbourne
